Hello.

One more thing: since kernel page-table isolation is already available
on 32-Bit x86 systems (see Bug Description), maybe "SpectreAndMeltdown"
information page (see 1.) should be updated, because of such a statement
(see "Current Status"):

"No fix is currently available for Meltdown on 32-bit x86; moving to a
64-bit kernel is the currently recommended mitigation."

Maybe, it could be changed to note, that: "32-bit x86 finally have
kernel page-table isolation support to mitigate "Meltdown". It is
already available in Linux kernel v4.19". Or above statement, available
on "SpectreAndMeltdown" page, could be changed to:

"Fix/mitigation for Meltdown on 32-bit x86 is already available in Linux
v4.19 kernel".

But that's just my opinion.

Best regards.
